Part 4/13:
James Gunn, the director and key voice behind Superman, has made claim after claim about the film’s success and longevity in theaters. He publicly asserted that the movie would stay in cinemas for an extended period and emphasized its strong performance. Yet, behind the scenes, his statements have appeared increasingly at odds with the financial realities.
Gunn’s comments have also included a degree of defensiveness concerning the film's box office performance, especially when critics or fans question whether it is profitable. He dismisses suggestions that the film is underperforming, asserting instead that it is a success. Nevertheless, the mismatch between his public assertions and the film’s actual performance has brought some skepticism.
